The immune system relies on specialized “effector” T cells to fight off pathogens. However, in chronic infections such as cancer or HIV, the perpetual activation of these cells can turn them into ...

“Our findings suggest a role for NSD2 in maintaining MM cell identity, with potential implications for future therapeutic strategies based on targeting of NSD2.” “Our findings suggest a role for NSD2 ...

Scientists have discovered that our specialized immune cells, called T cells, are what they eat -- their switch from functional to 'exhausted' depends on the switch from metabolizing acetate to ...

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is ...

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on March 21, 2025, titled "NSD2-epigenomic reprogramming and maintenance of plasma cell phenotype in t(4;14) myeloma." Researchers Andrea ...

A new study has shed light on the challenges of converting one type of specialized cell into another, a process critical for advances in regenerative medicine. Despite recent progress in the field, a ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.

The adult mammalian heart bears limited regenerative capacity, resulting in the irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes post-cardiac injury, and often culminating in end-stage heart failure. Cardiomyocyte ...
